Quite the contrary

…the less you know – the more you learn…bonus

I had no previous musical experience or sound healing experience – obligatory primary school piano lessons aside 😉 – while Tim came from a highly trained master level classical background, so you really do get the best of both worlds in terms of teaching styles.

It is – of course – beneficial if you already have a musical understanding, but it’s not a requirement and we will teach you everything you need to know from any level you join us at.

In-person training dates:

• Sat 7th – Sun 8th June
• Sun 13th July
• Sat 6th – Sun 7th September

Timings: 11.00 am – 6.00pm
Address:
Colet House, 151 Talgarth
Rd, London W14 9DA

All students will be granted access to our private online member’s platform. It is easy to use with all our training modules listed clearly, including a resources section for all course materials and a chat forum for ongoing support.

We decided to pre-record all content to accommodate our students time zones, schedules and lifestyles, making the course accessible to all.

We have scheduled monthly Zoom Q&A’s. There is also a chat forum in our private member’s portal and a very engaging and active private Facebook group.

You will also gain access to my private student hotline for queries on Whats App.
…all this considered, you will feel fully supported and held throughout.

We have designed the course to be as flexible as possible, to fit around your existing lifestyle; babies, business, boardroom and beyond

The pre-recorded content will be available on your private member’s portal to work through at your own pace and rhythm.

You will have 6 months to study and digest before your assessment in late August/early September.

However, although we support your existing commitments we do require your dedication, time and focus throughout the course to ensure you get the most of the experience and can reach a proficient level appropriate to pass the training. Please do consider this when evaluating whether it feels like the right time to embark on this journey.

If you already have a little sound tool kit – fantastic Or if you are starting from scratch, that’s equally as exciting

Throughout the duration of the course we will guide you towards our favourite brands and suppliers of instruments and we do offer you a recommended list of instruments to procure – but it is not mandatory.

It would, however, really accelerate your progress if you were to invest in the right instruments that fit your budget throughout the 6 month journey we embark on together.

Our entirely online students in particular would ideally need to invest in a couple of instruments in order for us to adjudicate you from afar, whilst the in-person students will have access to our instruments for their assessment.

Price will obviously vary depending on quality etc, but this will give you an approximate understanding of prices:

Cherabella tuning forks: £55 for one, £89 for two, £120.00 for three.
Shamanic drum: £60-160
Cherabella crystal bowls: £188-644
(there are cheaper/more expensive crystal bowls available from other brands, we will cover this on the course).
Chimes: approx £40
Gong: £600-£2,000
Gong mallets/flumis: £11-85
Tibetan bowls: £85 and upwards
Shruti Box: £150 and upwards

You do not need to bring any instruments with you – we provide everything you need. However, if you have your own instruments, you are welcome to bring them with you. It may aid your assessment if you are playing with the instruments you feel comfortable with.

The Academy of Sonic Medicine is recognised as an Approved Training Provider with The Complementary Medical Association.

When you qualify with our Academy you will be able to get professional insurance; we recommend either our affiliates, The CMA or Balens.

If it is accessible for you we recommend joining us for part online/part in-person. You will gain the most out of the experience and reach deeper levels of proficiency during our time together.

We have provided the entirely online option mainly for international students who cannot access the in-person training.

The benefits of doing the course entirely online are:

• It’s a lesser fee
• There are no travel and accommodation costs involved in attending the in-person training weekends.
• You can learn from anywhere in the world.

The benefits of doing the part in-person/part online training are:

• Gaining extensive, focused hands-on tuition and experience playing our diverse, rare collection of the finest quality and antique instruments.
• Explore vocal sound healing together as a group and building your confidence in using your voice as a tool for healing.
• An opportunity to interact with each other as one sound family, building friendships to support you on your journey with the course and beyond.

After graduation you will have one year’s access to the member’s portal
